A New Pokemon Game set to release on Feb 3 in Japanese e-shop…… Detective Pikachu?

If you haven’t been tuning into the game centric news sites, then you have missed out on an amazing……well strange trailer concerning our favorite electric-type mouse Pokemon, Pikachu. In this trailer Pikachu is a Detective (complete with a Deerstalker cap) solving human and possibly Pokemon related crimes.

However, the concept of strange Pokemon-esque games isn’t a new trend, remember “Hey You, Pikachu!” and the upcoming mobile AR game “Pokemon Go”? The strange part is the choice to voice Pikachu with a deep human voice complete with human like facial expressions. Because of this, the internet has spoke and requested in this petition that Danny DeVito plays the voice of Pikachu and at the time I wrote this article the petition was sitting at 37,222 signatures out of 50,000.

In one fell swoop this will be my first petition signed as well an opportunity to completely destroy my childhood!
